Inventors who are victims of their own creations Bashny.Net

The news of the death of the absurd, permeated by electricity excite our civilization: the author Scooter "Segway", a multimillionaire and philanthropist Jimi Heselden died, she moved down on a scooter of their own invention, with the rocky shore in the river Wharfe, in Yorkshire. 62-year-old owner of the company "Segway" peacefully toured own possessions and did not intend to take any extreme. It so happened.

However, good language suggest that came up with the ill-fated scooter is not English moneybag Jimi and American physicist Dean Kamen. In 2001, Mr. Kamen sold his young Samokatnaya business and maybe that's why he is still alive, engaged in the development of super-prostheses for those who are at war there, in everyday life there was left without one or both hands.

History knows many deaths Frankensteins from the clutches of their own golems. Sometimes deadly invention and as such are born, sometimes it was an accident, dictated by an evil rock whisper: "You gave birth to me, I'll kill you!". Who taught us all to be very careful even with what is and will remain a fair share of his own soul.

It's as if Korolev flew in space and has not returned, Edison bulb choked her and Sakharov was blown up by a hydrogen bomb.
